MissMythreyi<p>Spent FIVE minutes debating should i qualify a line of dialogue to show that the character has spoken this "Earnestly" or "Lovingly"</p><p>(I know good actresses who can beautifully differentiate between the two. It seems small but there can be a world of nuance, one a bit more inward without expectation, the other with)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/writingthreadm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingthreadm</span></a></p>
MissMythreyi<p>"Even when they had Washington dance in the red-hot shoes, I wasn’t imagining analogies, Snow White, I was soaked into Washington’s dread, it had no edge. </p><p>That is what boredom is, the moment with no edge."</p><p><a href="https://harpers.org/archive/2016/01/weve-only-just-begun/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">harpers.org/archive/2016/01/we</span><span class="invisible">ve-only-just-begun/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/annecarson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>annecarson</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/writingthreadm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingthreadm</span></a></p>
